MEASURES
Measure grist by the millful, Dew by tho daffodilful, April clouds by the skyful, Tears by Ophelia’s eyeful; Measure leaves by the elmful, Slaves by the tyrant’s realmful. Green-capped gnomes by rhe hillful, Rhymes by Romeo’s quillful; Measure sweets by the jarful. Dreams by the brooding starful, Robos by the bridal chestful, Songs by the Bobolink’s breastful; Thorns by the rose’s stemful, Gems by the diademful, Gold and dust by the cartful, Only love by the hcartful. —Katharine Lee Bates, in “Yellow Hover.” (New York: Dutton).
